Frogfoot down, we're in Despatch.
Good day,

Please note, there was an outage which has now been resolved.

We do apologize for the inconvenience caused.

If you are, however, still experiencing an issue, please send us a private message and we will further assist you.

Kind regards.
 
@Frogfoot Fibre When does Frogfoot plan to resolve the constant packetloss in the Gardenroute area?

It's been ongoing for about 2 weeks, regular packetloss every X amount of minutes.

Considering it's happening all over George, there's no point for me to send you my details.
Friends all over town are seeing the exact same loss at the exact same time.
 
Good day,

Thank you for letting us know.

In order for the team to assist you we will need to locate your details.

Please Pm us your details or send an email to [email protected]

Thank You!

Example of today:

This goes for the entire town, possibly neighbouring towns. I've confirmed this many times over with colleagues and friends in town.
Since it's not a "last mile" issue, there's no point in giving you my personal details or address.
 
Slow speeds tonight, barely breaching 1/3 of my rated download yet my uploads are flying
 
Atrocious since about midnight and still dropping every few minutes.

The outage is currently still ongoing.
